The options we compare across booking platforms generally range from $95 to $273, with a median price of around $175. The full spread of available tours extends from approximately $73 to $504, depending on the level of privacy and inclusions. Most travellers will find solid mid-range options that include a guide and transport within that core band.

Most tours are designed as full-day experiences, with a median duration of one day. However, the options we compare span a wider range, typically lasting between 10 hours and 2.4 days. If you are looking for a standard day trip rather than an extended stay, the majority of listings fit within that single-day window.

This category is unusual because the vast majority of options are private. Specifically, 89% of the tours we compare (16 out of 18) are tagged as private tours. This means you will likely have your own dedicated guide and vehicle rather than joining a large public group, which aligns well with the cultural and spiritual nature of the destination.

You have a wide selection of language options. Tours are offered in 8 languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, German, Japanese, and Hindi. Whether you prefer a local Hindi-speaking guide or an international language, the market coverage is comprehensive across the platforms we monitor.

Inclusions vary, but most packages focus on logistics and guidance. Based on the options we compare:

It is worth checking the specific itinerary, as some tours may require you to pay for meals or entry fees separately.

Given that the activity type is predominantly a city tour, private car transfers are the standard way to move between sites comfortably.
